Moments D657: Found

I know I have talked a lot about words in my blog.  I suppose that is apropos given that I've taken to sharing a moment with the world every day via a blog.  Written words.

Written.

It seems I am better equipped to find the right words (or more coherent words) when I write.

Today was one of those reminder days.

It was a challenging weekend for me.  I've been nose to the grind digging into my textbook to get caught up enough to do well on my coming midterm.

It hasn't been fun.  It hasn't been easy.  It has been necessary.

At the end of today, my spoken words were failing me.  I was frustrated and I, frankly, gave up on them.

EQ came to my rescue.  Just at that moment where you are ready for the world to implode on you because you can't seem to express yourself well, he came to my rescue.

With some magic (at least it was magical to me), EQ found the words that had been floating in my head.  He brought to life the thoughts and feelings I was struggling to explain in my own words.  He was concise and eloquent as he did it.  In three or four sentences he had it all summed up.

It emulated a perfectly wrapped present.  You know, that present that you are dying to know what is inside, but it is so prettily wrapped that you are afraid to open it up and destroy its beauty.  What if, the goodies inside were not as expected?

And here was my perfectly wrapped present from EQ.  A neat little package of words that were deeply meaningful to me.  Was I really ready to open it up and dig a little deeper?

Yes, that was a pretty powerful moment.  That moment where I had a choice to accept those found words or deny them.  I chose the harder path.  The path that forced me to go deeper than ever before.

In the end, it seems I was ready for digging deeper, for what ensued was a profound and fulfilling conversation about growth, opportunity and the excitement of our future together.

All because of a few found words that I wasn't able to find, but were found for me.

Brilliant!

Moments failing with words.

Moments where your partner picks up the vibe and finds the words.
